How do you know what it's like to be stupid if you've never been smart?
There are a lot of parallels to the 'Sparkle' story and my story.
My story is just my story, and it's not nearly as traumatic as some.
Unlike the vast majority of people, I've been locked in a box like an animal and I've also been on the receiving end of bloody thrashings, so I feel uniquely qualified to judge which is worse.
I have always been faithful to you if faithful means the experience against which everything else has been measured.
I know how to get around London better than Sydney.
Well people often ask me how I felt growing up with a father who was a politician and who was often away. But when I'm asked that question I often reflect on my inability really to be able to answer it in any relative sense because I never grew up with a father doing anything else. So I just have no idea what it would be like otherwise.
